So I did not anticipate this when I set the time. But I talked to Jackie. So…
Well, she wanted us to stop council meeting and do it. I'm like, no, not how it works. So, anyway, that's the only change I've got then. So, that'll happen in a minute. I'm so sorry. Like, I truly am embarrassed for that. Featured in items. So, that HOA, that Lake Ridge. So, we'll put that up on the podcast. Okay, 1.3, council discussion for future citizen recognition.
They're not doing any business, and now they're going to police and fire and volunteer. So do you know anybody? I will say, did we look at the 28th for the hometown?
Okay. Okay. Seeing no other item there, we'll go to our administrative reports. We'll start with 2.1, tonight review of the proposed park master plan, impact the analysis, and impact the facilities plan. Anthony, welcome. Thank you, appreciate it.
Let's have a look. Just give the double take. Perfect.
Yeah, I would say that's a good analogy. Okay, great. And I think there's two aspects, right? The impact that we can, so now we're charging that to where we can apply, but then there's a bigger vision. I mean, they're taking... public input, and then still it falls back on us to outlay the capital when it comes to that point. I mean, that's a big, that's a tall task we're never going to have. We're still never going to have.
We got a lot closer. We got 100 million closer.
Thank you, everybody. Appreciate it. Is that everything, yeah? I think so. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you, guys. That presentation leads right into our next one, which will be our athletic complex donor campaign proposal. Wendy's going to lead out.
I was, and I'll say I need to apologize to them publicly. We had started down a path, and then some stuff happened, and then they've been pushing and excited, so they're fired up. I've been the one that's kept them from coming back quicker, so... Ladies, we'll turn it over to you.
I love it. Yeah, I mean, that was just unreal. That was so, I built it for us. I think that's definitely the best. I think I love that. So talk to me next, how we move forward. So really, the To continue this, you need budget. And then are you, is your intent to help go promote this as well? Or is that just, like, where do you, what do you need from you? How do we work together? What's your vision for what you will do? What do we do from this point?
Okay, but immediately from us, you would need the funding to print this stuff, right? Because you don't have that, clearly. So we're talking a couple thousand dollars, right? Is that kind of what?
Oh, around a thousand bucks. That does your website, that does the printable, that's a thousand bucks, okay.
Was this just something we need to bring back in another to decide?
Mm-hmm. And I think, I'm happy. It's a group meeting that way. Yes. Take a meeting with us again for sure. Yeah. Yeah, we would, I would love to, I think if you're written, I would love to go with you to a couple. One, we can't say a lot right now, but there's interest from somebody that I think putting you in front of this group would be very good. So I'd love to set something up to go with you. You know, the three, like the four of us go, you know, we can take Wendy to or Nathan to some staff too. But... Okay.
Yeah. And I would say one thing I know, we're talking about the 10 million is not sure yet. Okay. Because it goes to the voters. So the board approved it for us. But now it has to go to the voters. And that, those ballots just hit today. So there might be an opportunity to start promoting. voters to vote for that, to support that bond. Does that make sense? So there could be some work there in the next couple weeks even to promote, you know, you could look at, you know, pushing people to support that. We can't pay for that, though. No, we can't pay for that, right? We can't pay for that. The…
So there's a pamphlet that arrived today, the arguments for this bond. So you can even take some of that and help promote it to parents. But we can talk offline even in the next couple of days and try to talk about that. So let us kind of regroup. We'll talk as a staff. This is amazing. I knew you girls were going to come up with amazing stuff, but that video was amazing. There's a lot of people that are going to see that, and it's going to resonate with a lot of people.
Any other comments, questions for these young ladies? Amazing. You did a great job. Thanks for being patient with us. Thank you so much. Thanks for being patient with me over the past few months.
We appreciate it. So circle back, put it, keep us on that text. We'll talk over the next couple days.
I'm going to get my agenda back out here. Okay. We'll go to 2.3, consideration of a policy regarding sponsorships, donations, and gaming rights. Did you know you were doing this one? Yes. Okay.
And I love the idea, but again, it's been so troublesome in some areas.
I'M JUST UPSET I MISSED THANK YOU, WENDY. I'M JUST UPSET I MISSED THE CHICKEN GUY.
anything else on that then? She will bring it back. We'll just look for you to do the timing and bring that back to us. And Blake, no stress. Like I said, we'd rather have you come and tell us you don't have it.
There's a lot of people that come visit our city and they're already here. So if we can get them in a hotel then they'll spend money at restaurants which help drive more, sit down restaurants which drive more. So really having this hotel really changes a lot of things even for our residents. So it's a big deal.
Yeah. Kind of a milestone, I guess, after what happened last year. Everybody knows the explosion. Everybody calls it the Domino's explosion, right? But Jimmy John's is the first tenant back in there and reopened today, and they're all to have him back.
I love it because I think they sent their employees to other locations while they were rebuilding. So I thought that was pretty cool how they handled it, too. Yeah.
